Loved this little cottage nestled in the forest. Rustic but comfy. We were there the weekend after Thanksgiving - enjoyed kayaking and forest hikes. Would love to visit in the summer. Recommend!

This is a fabulous family-owned place that is "cottage-y" in all the best ways. Charming, quirky, clean, and great location but not too precious or overwrought. Even the distant train whistles were welcome coloratura. Small beds and bedrooms take a bit of getting used to by those of us with king-size sleeping habits but "it's the cottage"!

The cottage was in a very pretty location, with a large and very nice dock. The cottage itself was comfortable and very clean. The beds were comfortable and there was lots of space for us (a group of 6 friends). Communication with the hosts was easy, with quick response times. Overall, a great experience.

We had a wonderful, but too short of a stay at this beautiful location. The family owned cottage and two bedroom cabin were older but clean and filled with interesting books, dvds, photos and memorabilia. We almost wanted a rainy day just to spend more time inside. There is a large dock and a great selection of paddle boards, kayaks, canoe, and a peddal boat that were a lot of fun. There is a distant train on the other side of the lake that has a lot of historical significance in opening up the area long ago. But, if you're bothered by the occasional sound of the train I would recommend earplugs. The hosts were wonderful. They greeted us and told us some interesting things about the area and then left us to enjoy the place in solitude.

Owners were amazing. Place was amazing. 100% would stay here again.

This clean and comfortable cottage fit our "quiet time at the lake" needs perfectly. The water was excellent and we got in for a swim several times each day. When we were drying off the dock provided good access to the sun, and also lots of shade closer to shore from the well treed lot. The waters between Moss Island and the dock are private, so it is safe to swim without worries that boats will come through the channel. They go to the north of the island. Bala is a very short drive away, with excellent restaurants, shopping, and of course Don's Bakery. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

My family had a wonderful time at this cottage. Weather was great and we were able to enjoy the dock, water toys and had a lovely bonfire at night.

Of course nothing can beat Muskoka at any time but we especially enjoyed the Spence cottage rich in history complete with a book of family photos over the generations. Easy access and views were enjoyed by all. The dock(s) were generous and open as the pics indicate. The Bunkie allowed for privacy and the main cottage dining room with lake view and surround windows made for great meals. My son wants to come back next summer. I think that says it all...
